Ex library Dr. A.C. van Bruggen (with his signature).Ancey (1860-1906) was a keen land and freshwater snail collector who principally focused on snails from the Hawaiian Islands, Central Asia, North and South America, Europe and Africa. In his short life he published many new taxa and contributed much to malacology. Ancey's material is widely distributed in museums around the world, including the Melvill-Tomlin collection at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff. This publication illustrates all of the Cardiff material and, where known, indicates where other type material can be located. This book contains the full biography of César-Marie-Felix Ancey, lists his 176 published papers, including 762 new molluscan names and illustrates 153 type lots.

With author’s dedication.One of the 19th century publications on French local faunas. This one covers the rich non-marine malacofauna north of the Pyrenees, and is much better illustrated and of more scientific importance than most. The second paper on Aquitanian land and freshwater molluscs (with one plain plate) is much more uncommon than the first.The French malacologist Jean Gassies (1816-1883) mainly studied the French continental fauna and is the author of many new species. The plates drawn by A. Laboulbène and M. Lespiault and engraved by F. Plée are beautifully handcoloured.

According to the front wrapper, this is the Limnaeacea, or Liefung I. 17. According to the collation given in "2400 years of Malacology" (Annex 2: p. 19) this is the complete part I(17)(b). It contains the descriptions and illustrations of the then known species of Lymnaeidae, including many that were new. Many of these were attributed to other authors, but are actually manuscript names and the true validations date from this work. Small label with the handwritten text "388/Bibliothek/Prof. A. Mousson" in the lower inner corner of the front wrapper verso. Johann Rudolf Albert Mousson(1805-1890) was a French-born, Swiss malacologist. Species described by him are included in this work.
